    Cabbage seedlings

    Hi all
    Oh well after a week on nights AGAIN finally got a change tonight to send a post well this week i've only had a hour or two to spare but i went up to the lottie today and i was delighted what i saw My flower of spring cabbage have all germinated (pic) but i sown 2-3 seeds in each of the moduel cells ( Do i ? when they get bigger prick them out and plant them out? ) as they are in the G/H at the Mo ?

    cheers lee

    I pricked out my cauli seedlings from 3 per 2" pot to 1 per 2" pot when they had 2 proper leaves - they were a bit on the tall side so i was advised to bury the little blighters up to their necks, and now they look fab.

    I would imagine that this would work well for the cabbage seedlings too.

      I wouldn't be sowing my Spring cabbages until July.... though I have just sowed some Summer cabbages on a windowsill (Greyhound). I've sowed 2 per cell, and will pinch out the weakest one.

        I agree with Two Sheds - I put Flower of Spring in last July and I still have a couple left (and a few of the stems are re-sprouting.) I put the seeds individually (they are quite big) in modules and just planted out when big enough - this was in Aug/Sept some time.

          This is where I went wrong. Sowed my spring cabbage too late but this year I will sow them in July, no later. Also remember that your cabbage should ideally be at least 1 foot high by November after which the plants (or any overwintering chunky Brassica) will grow at a glacial rate before Spring. I will also give them some sort of cover (e.g. fleece, cloches etc) if only to encourage them to grow faster.
